Board of Commissioners March 26, 2013 Natural Resources Trust Fund for development of a two mile rail trail along the west side of the Saginaw River from Kochville Road in Zilwaukee Township to the Saginaw-Bay County line. We met with Mr. Schmude who informed the committee that the Saginaw County Parks and Recreation Commission would serve as the applicant agency to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources Trust Fund in applying for funding of the development of the two mile rail trail. The maximum loan amount, which could be granted by the state, is $300,000.00 with a required local match of approximately $100,000 - $150,000. The local match will be provided by the Great Lakes Bay Regional Trail Group. No county funds will be used. It is anticipated that if the funding is approved construction could start as early as FY 2014. We recommend the proper County officials be authorized and directed to serve as the applicant agency to apply for funding with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources Trust Fund to develop the two mile rail trail as described above. The appropriate resolution will be submitted under the regular order of business to accomplish same. Respectfully submitted, COMMITTEE ON COUNTY SERVICES Carl E. Ruth, Chair Charles M.
